I've always found that tom cats have a high pain threshold. Whether that's inherent because they have/had to fight?
Neither Shadda nor BB flinched when given the injection that the Vet said would "sting" and requested I held them.

That's good because if he's anything like my cat he's a really fussy eater. I give him The Science plan diet as dried food and every now and then he gets tuna as a treat.

He'll like it to start with because it's different to his other food. Once he realises that's all he's getting, he'll be back to his usual fussy self lol

Doesn't go back to vets until next week. Eating much better but he's still lethargic. All in all, there has been quite a lot of improvement Thanks for asking Jas

Hi A. What's the latest? Is everything still progressing in the right direction?

Sadly not Blodau Becks has suddenly become less mobile and when the vet looked at him today his prognosis was not good. He thinks the diabetes is secondary, and that he has a tumor on his pancreas. We have to take him back next week, and if he is still the same they will open him up. If it is a tumor they will have to put him down as there is no way back and he would be in great pain. He thinks this is the most likely senario and that poor Becks is into his last week We will endeavour to make it his best week, and get used to the idea ourselves. We would not want him to suffer or have a poor quality of life. I sometimes see sick people on morphine,wasting away and it seems so cruel - at least you don't have to let pets suffer like that. Will let you know what happens next Wednesday, but am not hopeful.

That's so sad to hear A. I'm nearly in tears here and it's not even my cat! When we had to have Dabs put to sleep, it was heart breaking but we knew it was the right thing to do for her. My thoughts are with you and Becks xxx

Auricula, I don't know what to say. The biggest hug to you and a ruffle of his fur to Becks. He is the luckiest little cat to belong to you and you are lucky to have him - remember that whatever happens next.
